I noticed that WILLCOM plan to launch the forum with Microsoft and Apple, etc. that to consider new devices and lifestyle. One of idea of WILLCOM is to insert the small data communication module into information appliance. Even if OEM doesn't have know-how about wireless communication hardware, they can use this module and provide the network appliance for consumers. So far, I'm not sure why Apple is in this forum. They may be thinking something new feature for iPod or other devices. If music will be downloadable into iPod or other music players via this wireless module, it may be useful for listeners. :-)
